SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 620,870, dated March 7,1899.

I Application filed I 11119 1 7- ing them harmless and increasing theeifik ciency of the stove.

. WVith this and other objeets'inview my invention further consists inthe novel details of construction and combination of parts, to be morefully described in the following specification and clearly set forth inthe append-' ed claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, forming part of thisspecification, in which like characters of reference indicate likeparts, Figure 1 is a central vertical'section of the upper part of myinvention. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the entire apparatus, and Fig.3 is a horizontal section on the line an ac of Fig. 1.

In the drawings, A represents a cylindrical casing mounted on a suitablebase P and having its upper end closed by a cap B. Acylinder C, ofsmaller diameter than the casing, is suspended centrally therein, withits upper end some distance below the cap, leaving the upper space Fandthe surrounding space D. The lower end of the cylinder 0 projectsbelow the lower end of the casing and is provided with the flange H,whiclrfits against the edge of the casing to close the bottom of spaceD.

Inthe lower part of the cylinder 0 is a consuming-chamber formed of anenlarged circular central portion K, with four or more radialpipes L L LM leading therefrom. Three of said pipes L L L pass through the cylinderCand communicate with the space D, while the fourth pipe M isconsiderably larger than the others and passes through the cylinder andcasing to discharge into the atm osphere. Directly beneath theconsumingchamber andabove the lower edge of the cylinder is a burner Oof any desired form.

N indicates a damper or slide to regulate Serial No. 641,736. (Nomodel.)

the opening in pipe M and is principally used in starting the stove toconfine the contents until the desired temperature is'attained.

From the foregoing it will be seen that when the burner O is lighted theescaping smoke and gases pass upward through'the cylinder 0 to the spaceF, where they are deflected by the cap 13 to travel downward through thespace D. Near the bottom of this space they 1. In adevice of thecharacter described, a

cylindrical casing, a hollow cylinder supported therein forming an upperand a surround ing space, a flange closing theiloottom of thesurrounding space, a consuming-chamber in the lower part of the cylindercomposed of. a circular central portion with a number of radial pipesconnecting it with the surrounding space-and a discharge -pipe ofgreater diameterthan the first-named pipes and connecting the centralportion with the atmosphere and a burner beneath the consuming-chainber, substantially as described.

2. In a device of the character described, a consuming-chamber composedof a circular central portion, anu mber of radial pipes leading theretoadapted to admit the gases to be consumed, and a discharge-pipe, ofgreater diameter than the first-named pipes, connected to the centralportion, in combination with a burner therebeneath, substantially as described. I

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
